"It is with the utmost sadness that I have learned of the death of former Senator, Billy Lawless.
"Billy Lawless was a gentleman to his core, he was a businessman at the top of his game, and he was a person who accepted a challenge from former Taoiseach Enda Kenny - to travel from Chicago to Leinster House to represent the Irish diaspora.
"He did his work with diligence and great pride; he was great company, and he was an extremely kind man.
"To his family and large circle of friends and colleagues, I am truly sorry for your loss.
"May he rest in peace."
